The configuration of the list item’s leading region.

```
var leadingConfiguration: CPMessageListItemLeadingConfiguration { get set }
```

## Discussion

An instance of [`CPMessageListItemLeadingConfiguration`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPMessageListItemLeadingConfiguration) that describes the visual elements of the list item’s leading region. The region can show a [`CPMessageLeadingItem`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPMessageLeadingItem), an image, and an unread indicator.
